I can't say I understand why your blatant disregard for the safety advice posted by members with experience with these systems means that I should trust your robot to be safe.
If this robot manages to pass inspection with the safety cage shown in those pictures, I will be instructing my team to at the very least put on safety glasses in the stands every time your robot is on the field.

I'm not blatantly disregarding, I'm taking them into consideration and adding just enough safety features so that the props can still function.
We will upgrade the cage, in particularly in the 'plane of destruction'.
And really, say a prop was coming at you, I wouldn't be that concerned about my eyes, but rather, other parts of my body. Becuase theoretically (depending the mass of the fragment ofcourse), you'd get some penetration in the skin if that hit you. And then... surgeons would have fun dislodging a 'plastic knife' from your body. Not really the best image, but.. atleast you'd be able to see your own masacre. [sorry for the sarcasm, I'm just a little angry about our progress XD]
